WITNESS BETRAYED THEM
Chicago Inquisitors Dive Into Eight
Trunks Containing True Story
of Big Six Packers'
Dealings.
CHICAGO, April 30. The contents of
eujht mysterious trunks, unearthed by
Government Seoret Service mon In the
vaults of the National Safe Deposit Com
pany, occupied the attention today of the
Federal grand jury which is investigat
ing the affairs of the beef trust. A sub
pena duces tecum for Daniel Pcckham,
secretary of the Safe Deposit Company,
was issued by Judge Landls to force the
company to produce the trunks In the
jury-room. The trunks -were taken to
the office of District Attorney Morrison,
where. It is said, they were opened and
their contents examined.
What the trunks contained and what
connection they have with tho case Is
not Jcnown, as the Government officials
refuse to discuss the matter, declining to
either deny or confirm the explanation
current that the trunks might belong to
the packers.
"I do not know a thing about these
trunks," said Mr. Pcckham, after bavins
been served with the subpena. "I was
served with a subpena to deliver them
to the Government officials at onco. and,
of course, did so. I cannot say who de
posited the trunks in the vaults here, be
cause that would be violating confidence
and not in keeping with our policy. All
that I know, is that I was served with a
subpena. by a Deputy Marshal and I did
what I was commanded to do. All I can
say is that a large, well-dressed man with
a smooth-shaved face, on March 23, ap
peared at our place and deposited the
trunks with ub."
District Attorney Morrison Instituted
the action by which the trunks were
seized after a witness, whoso identity
is carefully guarded, had startled the
grand jurors with revelations as to the
former business methods bf the pack
ers. He is said to have testified that a
double system of bookkeeping had been
employed by certain packing Anns, ono
set of books showing the secret rela
tions of tho alleged combine and being
accessible c7:ly to trusted employes,
nd the other et showing; figures to
which the packers invited the atten
tion of the Government experts who In
vestigated for Commissioner Garfield.
While Mr. Peckham declined to dis
close the Identity of the person or per
sons who stored the trunks with his
company, he admitted that this was
done on March 23, three days after
the grand jury began its investiga
tions. Suspicions have been entertained for
a long time by the Federal officials con
nected with the investigation that the
readiness with which the packing firms
welcomed an examination of their
books by the Government experts was
not altogether genuine. The work of
the Seoret Service operators produced
results, it is said, which tended to
strengthen these suspicions, and, when
a. witness who testified more than a
week ago lot drop the hint that Com
missioner Garfield's experts ha-d not
seen all the books of the packers, he
was called upon to explain.
Supreme Court Mandate Filed.
CHICAGO. April 10.- The mandate of
the United States Supreme Court In the
case against the meat packers has been
filed in the Fedoral Circuit Court here.
The mandate modifies the injunction is
sued by the Circuit Court. In. the opinion
qf the Federal authorities-here, it will not
hamper the present grand jury in the
work of investigating the charges against
the beef trust.
TRUST CONTROLS THEATERS.
Belasco Exposes Its Methods in Suit
Against Members.
NEW YORK, April 10. The charge
that half a dozen men in this city and
Philadelphia control every first-class
theater in the country and dictate to
managers where their shows shall ap
pear, and whether they shall' appear at
all, and arbitrarily demand, and nearly
always receive, a large percentage of
the profits from every play produced
in those theaters, has been made by
witnesses during the progress of the
trial of the suit of David Belasco, the
playwright, against Klaw & Brlanger.
theatrical agents, still In progress.
Mr. Belasco's purpose in the suit is
to re-establish his contention that
Klaw & Erlanger entered Into a secret
partnership with him in regard to the
Rtarring of David Warfield in "The
Auctioneer." The secret agreement was
made in consideration of Klaw & Er
langer's consenting to book, the play
at first-class theaters. Belasco also
told of similar experiences which he
claimed to have had with Charlos
Frobman. He paid Frohman, he said,
more than $100,000 from the profits of
"Zaza." in which Mrs. Leslie Carter ap
peared. Belasco said in the course of his ex
amination that these cases were only
two of many that every manager had
the same experience as himself and was
obliged to make similar agreements
with the booking agents.
The names of the men who ate al
leged to control the theaters of the
United States were 'given by Samuel
Nixon when he was on the stand today
as Al Hayman. Charles Frohman. Klaw
Erlanger. of this city, and Nixon &
Zimmerman, of Philadelphia, Baltimore
and Pittsburg.

of Corporations Garfield, announced to

5ard Oil Company In Kansas would be
started at once. The hearings will all

mlsaioner's work .will be made public un
til the report Is given to President Roose
velt Mr. Garfield today held conferences with
Governor Hoch, Attorney-General Coleyj
man ana uiuxea auues uisinct Attorney
Dean. All the Information gained by
these officials was placed before him and
he regards it as sufficient to start to
work on. Of his work, he said:
"My investigations are required by.
law to be secret something like those
of the grand jury. If formal open
hearings were held and prosecutions
followed, the person prosecuted would
be In possession of all the Information
of the Government, .so it is necessary
to keep the investigation secret."
"Will your Investigation include the
relations between the Standard and
the railrods?" Mr. Garfield was asked.
"Oh, yes." he replied, "that is one of
the big foatures of the inquiry."
Mr. Garfield said he did not care to
discuss the Beef Trust report.
CENSUS OF ISLANDS.
First Complete Count Made in the
Philippines.
WASHINGTON, April M. The United
States Census Bureau has just published
the first complete census of the Philip
pine Islands, which was made under the
direction of Brigadier-General J. P. San
ger. It is In four volumes, aggregating
8016 pages, with a large map of the isl
ands and several small maps and dia
grams and 2S0 half-tone cuts. Tho cen
sus was taken by 7627 persons, nearly
all natives.
Volume 2 is devoted to statistics of
population, the greater part of tho vol
ume being occupied by tables presenting
the population by islands, provinces and
different statistical combinations. In the
analysis of these tables the conditions of
the Philippines with those of other coun
tries are compared, particularly the Uni
ted States, Porto Bico and . Cuba. The
total population of the archipelago as
returned from 342 Independent islands Is
7.635,426. Of this number almost 7,000,000
are more, or less civilized. The wild
tribes form about 9 per cent of the en
tire population. Tho civilized tribes are
practically all adherents of the Catholic
Church. The Moros are Mohammedans,
and the other wild peoples have no rec
ognized religious beliefs.
The total population, according to the
most reliable authorities, is a little more
than, four times as great as it was 100
years ago. During the same period that
of the United States multiplied almost
15 times. The excess of birth rate over
death rate in the Philippines has been
large, in spite of sudden and great losses
as a result of epidemics of various dis
eases. While it is true that the enumeration
of the wild tribes, according to the meth
ods employer among civilized peoples, was
not practicable, very careful and pains
taking estimates were made, and the re
turns are probably within 10 per cent of
the true number. The total number of
non-Christian people Is stated to be 647,
740 The density of population in the Philip
pines Is 67 per square mile. In continen
tal United Slates it Is 26 per square mile.
The Inhabitants are usually found on or
near the coast, except in the Island of
Luzon, where about half of the people
live In the two rich valleys in the In
terior. Only one-seventh of the civilized
population live inland, but the wild peo
ples are confined almost entirely to the In
terior. In the archipelago there are 13,
400 barrios or villages, with an average
population of500 Inhabitants. The aver
age size of the barrio varies widely in
different provinces. A number of adja
cent barrios form a pueblo or municipal
unit, and thus there is practically no
rural population. Three-fifths of the pop
ulation live In villages of less than 1000
Inhabitants, and 4 per cent In towns over
6000. There are four towns with a popula
tion exceeding 10,000 each, and 35 with a
population exceeding 5000. Manila is the
only incorporated city in the islands, and
ite inhabitants number 219.92S.
The foreigners on the islands number
about 60,000, of whom three-quarters are
Chinese and 8135 Americans, not includ
ing the Army. Only two-tenths of 1 per
cent of the population Is of mixed blood.
The Vicayans are the most numerous of
the eight civilized tribes, having nearly
half the entire civilized population. The
Tagalogs compose one-fifth and the Iloc
anos one-eighth of the civilized popula
tion. Two-fifths of the non-Christians
are . Moros. The sexes are almost equal
in number, the Chinese having almost
all males, but the Japanese about equally
divided between males and females.
More than half tho population can
neither read nor write; 44.5 per cent can
road, but less than half of these can
write, and only one-fifth of the popula
tion can both read and write. Those at
tending school number 11,716, or 37.5 per
cent of the children of 6chool age.
Males of voting age form nearly one
fourth of the total Christian population,
and of this number only about' one-third
are literate. Ninety-seven per cent of
the maes of voting age are of Filipino
ciuzcnsnip. tho most literate tribe Is
the Parapangan, nearly half of whose
males of voting age are able to read and
write.
Tho average death rate In 1902 was
C3.3 per thousand, ranging from 22 in Par-
agua to 123 in Batangas. but it fell in
1M8 to 47.2 and normally is about 32,
against a birth rate of 48.
There were at the time of the census
2962 schools, of which 55 per cent were
public One-sixth of the children of
school age are enrolled and three-quarters
of these are in the public schools
Boys are throe-fifths of the pupils.

WOLF-CHASE AT EARLY MORN
Dogs Dispatch Big Gray Beast After
Lively Chase Led by President
Banquet at Frederick
on Wednesday.
OKLAHOMA CITT, Okla.. April IS.
The President and his party began
their return this morning after exper
iencing the Western rainstorm during
the night. A special from Frederick,
Okla., says:
The wolf chase to which the Presi
dent has been so eagerly looking for
ward began early this morning at
Camp Roosevelt, 18 miles southeast of
here. There are about 40 dogs In the
pack, and thoso which had not been
tied have been hosing all around this
portion of the reservation sinco they
arrived in camp and every now .and
then a cheery yelp told their masters
that they had scented some game.
"The party of about a dozen, includ
ing 'President Roosevelt, and his doc
tor, had not traveled far this morning
until the dogs wore leading, them on to
what turned out to be a fresh scent.
Soon the leaders were rewarded by see
ing in a neighboring ravine a lank,
grey wolf, deliberately loping as If un
mindful of its pursuers. The dogs all
seemed to catch sight of the prey at
the same time, for horses and dogs now
set forward with renewed energy. The
wolf tried to elude Its pursuers by
dodging, but this only hurried matters,
as it enabled tne foremost dog to catch
up with Its prey. As the wolf turned
to Beat off its assailants, other dogs
sprang upon the bristling animal and
bore it to the ground, where it was
quickly dispatched without the aid of
the hunters. Two other wolves were
killed in much the same manner.
"The President was invariably at the
ncad of the riders. At one point, see
ing some water in a buffalo wallow, he
galloped to the spot before the dogs
reachea it and sipped up the refresh
ing liquid in good old-fashioned cow
boy style. Only about ten of the party
were permitted to enter in the after
noon's shoot, however, as It was found
that the greater the number of hunters
the smaller tne amount of sport.
"Horses, riders and dogs seemed to
grow In endurance as the day waned,
and by night the big reservation con
tained a considerably less number of
coyotes than It did when the chase
began.
"Governor Thomas B. Ferguson and
ex-Delegate Dennis T. Flynn notified
Postmaster Ahorn that they would be
here Wednesday to greet the President.
The business men of Frederick 'met
this afternoon and appointed a com
mittee to see that they are properly
cared for. These gentlemen are to
speak In the afternoon and a banquet
will be tendered them In the evening.
It Is expected that President Roosevelt
will be at the banquet."
PLANS FOR TRIP TO COLORADO
Trinidad and Denver Will Be Disap
pointed of Visit.
FORT WORTH, Tex.. April l.-iSecre-tary
Locb and his assistants are confident
that President Roosevelt and his party
are enjoying to the fullest possible extent
their wolf and jackrabbit hunt on Deep
Red Creek. Oklahoma. No communica
tion of any character has been made by
the President and his sacrctary since they
parted on Saturday. A large batch of offi
cial mail was received here today, but it
was unimportant. None of It was for
warded to tho President.
No concern is entertained here because
of the report that a wind storm passed
over Oklahoma. From reports received
here It le not believed the storm touched
Panther Springs, where the party Is said
to be In camp.
There has been no alteration In the
plans for the Colorado trip, which will
begin on Thursday. The White House
staff. In charge of the temporary seat of
government In this city, will arrive In
Frederick. Okla.. about 9:30 P. M. Thurs
day and join the President and those of
his hunting companions who are to be
members of the Colorado party.
Citizens of Trinidad. Colo., are prepar
ing to give the President a warm welcome
If he can be induced to stop on the way
to Colorado Springs, and the American
Stockgrowers' Association, which will
meet In Denver on May 9, is planning to
have him there. It Is probable, however,
that both Trinidad .and penver will be
disappointed. The special will be attached
to the Colorado Midland ,. at Colorado
Springs, and it Is belleyed that any stops
on the Fort Worth & Denver City -Railway
will endanger the connection. It Is
certain that the President's hunt In Colo
rado will not be over In time for the ac
ceptance of the Denver invitation. It is
true, however, that some stops will be
made In returning to Washington late in
May, but no programme has been ar
ranged definitely.
Secretary Loeb and other menbers of
the party located here have llttlo to do.
"Fort Worth citizens have been most hos
pitable in arranging entertainments. A
barbecue will be given tomorrow.
BEAR ALL READY FOR HUNT
Newcastle People Propose Novel
Sport for President.
NEWCASTLE. Colo.. April 10. The
big pack-train and camp outfit for
President Roosevelt's party received

where camp will be pitched for a week
or 10 days.
As soon as the camp is well estab
lished the extra men. as well as sev
eral ranchmen and trappers, who will
be engaged, will scour the country in
search of bear tracks. They will care
fully note all the signs and general lo
cations, so that when the President
starts out there will be no -delay in
looking for tracks.
Citizens of Newcastle are planning a
novel reception to the President next
Saturday morning, which will be sub
ject to his approval. It Is proposed
that a grand parade be held, in which
President Roosevelt shall ride so he
can be seen by the citizens. At the
head of the procession will be r mon
ster brown bear In a cage. The animal
was recently captured and he Is now
at the residence of Frank . Hllliard,
where he has succeeded In killing at
least a dozen dogs and injuring sev
eral men who ventured too near him.
Goff and Borah will put their pack of
hounds In a corral and the bear will be
given an hour's start for the hills.
Then the packs will be set on the trail
and President Roosevolt. Dr. Lambert.
Philip B. Stewart and the guides will
